Oh? One wonders.
Don’t know if there’s an ounce of truth in this post, but it’s interesting speculation.

This shooting is part of the Washington Post’s glorification of capitalism - of the meeting of goods folks “need and want” made just for worldly wealth.

The Washington Post has published the most bizarre hymn to consumerism I have ever read. The great and good, Capitalism ( described as divinely massive Black Friday sales of consumer goods) has made the globe a paradise.

In short: Even though the court ordered discovery based on the likelihood of vindictive and selective prosecution, we don't even need to get into it and you should dismiss the charges now given we just learned the DOJ lied to a judge about Costa Rica not accepting Mr. Abrego.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.
More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

So there’s nothing wrong with a conspiracy theorist except that they misidentify the monsters and attack those who expose them - sounds like the old old story of the divided Self does it not?

Trump’s problem is that so many Americans — including his MAGA base — believed that he’d expose a powerful global elite.
But every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump may actually be part of that global elite.
Expect him to lash out as the walls close in.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S.
“Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.
